You've tried everything for your sleep except a physician.
Assessment for insomnia, disrupted sleep, apnea, and circadian problems by Alberta physicians. Free with your Alberta Health Card, no referral.
Sleep problems are medical problems.
You don't have to be in crisis to qualify for care.
What a first appointment actually looks like
A full one-hour video visit with an Alberta physician. They ask about what's been happening, how long it's been going on, and what you've already tried. Nothing is decided without you, and follow-up appointments are unlimited.
- A full hour with your physician, not a 5-minute triage call
- Plain-language explanation of what's driving your symptoms
- A written care plan you leave the appointment with
- Internal referral to our psychiatrists or counsellors if you need it
- Unlimited follow-up appointments, you're never left alone with a plan
Sedatives are the last tool we reach for, not the first.
CBT for insomnia is the best-evidenced treatment and works better long term than medication. Your physician will start there, investigate anything physical such as apnea or thyroid, and use medication only where it genuinely helps.
If you do choose it, you get unlimited follow-up appointments to adjust or stop, not a prescription and silence.
Sleep is usually a symptom of something else, or the cause of it.
Insomnia both follows and drives anxiety, depression, ADHD, and chronic pain. Our physicians assess the whole picture rather than handing you a sleeping pill and sending you away.

Same appointmentQuestions about sleep care
Book free appointmentYour physician screens for it, and can arrange the appropriate testing or referral if the picture suggests apnea. Snoring, witnessed pauses in breathing, and morning headaches are all worth mentioning.
That's fine, bring exactly that. Your physician will investigate why sleep is broken before recommending anything, and CBT for insomnia is short and practical rather than open-ended talk therapy.
Physician assessment and every follow-up appointment are billed to AHCIP, no cost to you, no credit card at booking, no cap on visits. Optional non-physician services such as counselling are quoted transparently before you commit.
No. You book directly. If your plan calls for a psychiatrist, our physicians refer you internally to our own psychiatry team, so there's no external waitlist to join.
